London, June 18 A Turkish detach ment has entered the Russian district of Acbalserch and threatens Bussian communication with Ardahan. Should tbe Turkish commander Buoceed, a victory ior me xtussian armies win De very dim' oult. On the approaoh of three firing sol umns sent by Mukhtar Pasha, against the Bussian right wing, the Bussians not only evacuated Olti, but Pennek, at the loot oi tbe pass over Hanly range, leading to Ardaban. Both Olti and Pennek were recaptured by the Turks, who also went in pursuit or tbe Uussians. The above is not from tbe immediate scene of operations, and previous dispatches stated the Bussians were withdrawing from the direction of Erzeroum, In order to prosecute the siege of Kars, reduce it, and keep their rear from attack; and that also Grand Duke Michael, oommander-in-onief of the Bussian army in Asia, commenced personally to recon-noiter Kars on the 8th inst. England and Buasla. Vienna, June 13 A St. Petersburg letter states that Count Sohounstoff took to St. Petersburg a specification of British interests bs contained in Mr. Cross's speech in the British Parliament. Count Sohounaloff's instruotions on bis return to London empowered him to deolare that Bussia had no designs against the Sues canal or Egypt. His instruotions were restricted to this declaration. Nothing is known in St. Petersburg of any semiofficial note to Lord Derby, Lord Darby's reply to Gortschakoff's ciroular has up to the present received no answer, as the Bussian Cabinet oonsiders it couched in curt and unusual terms. There is still, however, a possibility that Bussia will, on the occasion of the immediate impending passage of the Danube, again set forth her views. Indirect Dispatches. New Yobk, June 13.

New York, June 13 Tbe following is the Attorney General's letter, sent to Tweed's counsel : New York, June 12. John D. Towniend esq.: Sib Herewith I return to you the statement of testimony which you assert that William M. Tweed could give it be wra released from lmDrisonmeut. After careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that the testimony which said Tweed oould give, as shown by said state ment, would not justify his release. LttlHUI a. V AIHVUII.V, Attorney General. Townsend. with Tweed's assent, will present all the facts in the case to the pufalio in a few days. Tbe following letter explains itself : Ludlow Stbebt, June 18. John P. Townsend : Dear Sib I wish you to take the neosssary steps to at once enable me to confess judgment in all the cases brought against me by either city, oounty or State, My defenses In all tbese matters nave been disclosed by me to the Attorney General personally, in several interviews, on his personal assurances to me that if I made suob a statement a snouia. ne released from imprisonment; and as you know, also, to yourself ; and it would be useless now to interpose a defense even had I a desire to do so, and save tbe city unnecessary further expense. Jour obedient servant, Wc. M. Tweed. Tweed is very much depressed in spirits and weaker in health. He denounces what be terms the injustice of the compromise with 8weeney, and declares that the four criminal indictments found against the latter would have led to his conviction bad he not fled instead of remaining, as Tweed did, to meet the issue. Tweed says bitterly that Connolly and Sweeney were as muoh in the ring Vuds as himself. Sweeney's settlement j a n admission of such complicity, and Tweeu thinks he has a right to be as lenient! treated. Depa rture of Hendricks. New Yobm:, June 18. Many of those who were at the reception of the Manhattan Club last even.'og assemcled at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day to bid farewell to Governor Hendricks and wife, prior to their departure for Europe in the steamer Scythia.

On account of the ebb tide in the afternoon tbe steamer lay off Bedloe's I land, where the passengers were taken on board. There was no demonstration on the arrival of the ex-Governor and party. When the party reaohed the steamer they went first to inspect the table. A large bed of roses, on which wers the words, "Bon voysee," sent by William VanWvck and Willis o. Paine, was placed by their seats at the first table. At four o'clock the revenue cutter came along side the Soytbia with Collector Arthur and Thomas Murpny on board, After the UBual demonstration of respect and nood-byes were given tbe cutter re turned and the Scythia steamed down the bay. THE TIDAL WAVE. Tfcfl Wonderful Experiences of a nip Captain on tne raelde Coast Nsw YobX, June 18 Captain Charles MaoLeon, of the ship Geneva, sunk at Kurrj-illoH, in tbe great earthquake on the Pacific ooaat, on the Sth ult., has arrived and tells the story of his experiences. He says that though apparently safely anchored, his ship became entangled with others. They tossed wildly about, crossing against each other and sinking almost immediately in fifteen fathoms of water. On the nrst alarm be came up from between decks. It was almost half past eight in the evening. There had been several snooks in tne previous twenty days, but he had completed his oargo of guano and was expecting to sail tbe next morning. Aside from a frightful rumbling sound his attention was arrested by the extraor dinary phenomena of the shore mountain above being so muoh agitated that great rooks became detached and rolled down toward ths Bea, resembling balls of fire. Furthermore, the water at (he anohorage suddenly receded so that ships in eight fathoms touched bottom. At the same time it was observed the ships were swimming round and round and in opposite directions, the anchor chains beooming entangled beneath, the copper yards and masts interlocking, wnile tne air resound ed with falling spars and the crash of bul warks. The water also came swirling in like a maelstrom, causing the Geneva to swing round at eight or ten knots an hour in great circles, until she struck against a rock which tore out part or her bottom. The ship was then forced violently in the opposite direction and went down. The other vessels were as violently driven ashore, or went to the bottom, as in the case of the English ship Avonmore, Captain Canfleld, which took down with her the Captain's wife, three children and several others. Captain MacLeon says it seemed to him from the Sulphurous or electrical appearance of the mountain that a voloano was bursting out of its sides. Bocks were tumbling about with frightful noisa, and everything was Hunted up. He thinks tbe damage to shipping was caused not so much by tbe tidal wave as by an upward rush of water and rotary currents, driving the Bhips repeatedly against each other. THS RAJLRQADS.

The Fitchburg Sen tinel states that considerable indignation prevails in that city toward Mr. Blood, the railroad man, because of a feeling that he has not dealt fairly with his creditors and frisnds. The statement of bis liabilities to bla principal Fitohburg creditors is grossly exaggerated, acaording to other figures given, while persons who claim to be creditors to the amount of $40,000, and one to the amount of $10,-000, are entirely ignored, 19 well as small creditors.

How silly it seems even to ourselves, after cooling, to Dave acquired a nervous headache and to have become generally done up, stamping round the room, and showing other siens of fooliah anger, because the dinner was nve minutes late, or because some one s respect for us did not quite rise to the high Biandard measured by our egotism 1 As if it were not far more important that we should save our vital energy, and not get into a rage, than that the dinner should be served exactly to tbe moment. One day a friend of Lord Palmerston asked hiin when he considered a man to be in tbe prime of life; bis immediate reply s ''Seventvnine. But," he added with a playful smile, "as I have lust entered my eightieth year, perhaps I am myself a little past it I" How is it tbat such men work on vigorously to the end ? Because they treasure their ever-diminishing vital force. They studiedly refrain from making a pull on the constitution. Reaching tbe borders of seventy years of aue, they, as good assay to themselves : "We must now take care what we are about. Cf course, they make sacrifices, avoid a num ber ot treacherous gaieties, and living sim ply, tbey perhaps give some cause of of fense, fur the worid does not approve of singularity. But let those laugh who win. They hold tbe censorious observations of critics in derision, and maintain'the even tenor of their way. In other wordB they conserve their vital force, and try to keep ahoveground as long as possible. Blustering natures, forgetful of the great truth tbat "power itself hath not onehalf the might of gentleness," miss the ends for which tbey strive just because tbe force that is in them is not properly economized. Then as regards temper : any man who allows that to master him waates as much energy as would enable him to remove the cause of anger or overcome an opponent. me nttie boy ot eight years old wbo in the country is often Been driving a team of four immense dray-horses, is one of the innumerable instances of the power of rea-Bon over mere brute force, whioh induce violent tempers to become calm from pol icy, if from no higher motive. Talue of Manufactured 17. Silks in The total quantity of silk goods pro duced in the United States during the year 1876 is stated by ths report to be l,284,oo0 pounds, valued at $26.693,10 These include all kinds and varieties of silk manufacture, whether in dresses, ribbons, undergarments, neckiiea and scarfs, sewing and embroidery silks, handkerchiefs or trimmings. The industry is rapidly growing and bids fair eventually to make American silks an article for export. Indeed, this view was already taken by Mr. J. Walter H. Thorp in a letter addressed to the Macclesfield (England) Courier, dated October i, 1878, in which he says : Our English manufacturers have acted wisely in abstaining from exhibiting their goods at tbe Centennial exhibition at Philadelphia, as they would only have exposed their inferiority in quality and price. Instead of wishing any longer to see or use our English silk goods, America, proteoted by ber sixty per cent, duty on the import of manufactured silk, Is almost entirely supplying her own market with home-made goods, and her manufacturers, having proved that they can produoe the article and quality required by their markets, are now lending all their efforts to the reduction of cost. Now that the period of Inflated prices and extravagant wages is paBBing away (whioh last Item has bitherto been the great difficulty with manufacturers), and their scale of wages it rapidly falling to the European level, we shall find that the ample labor saving appliances and greater intelligence of the work people will bring us face to face with a competition suob as we have never yet dreamed of, and I venture to say that before long England, mother of free trade as she is, will find herself compelled to impose a duty on the importa tion of American silks In order to proteot ner manuiaoturers trout owing oeaien in their own markets. Pouring Oil on Troubled Waters. Living Age, The effect of oil in stilling troubled waters has been so long known, remarks Iron, that it has been constituted the basis of a proverbial phrase. A very small quantity of oil thus used has overoome every powerful sea. JMot many years ago a case occurred in whioh a ship's crew was enabled, during a severe storm, toes-oap- on the shore by the help of a few gallons of oil. A similar and equally successful employment of tha same sub stance is reported to have been made off the "Cane of Storm" last summer, lh King Cenrlc, a vessel of 1490 tons, left Liverpool in June last for coin Day. When off the Cape of Good Hope she encountered a heavy gale from the north west, wnioh continued for some time. Tremendous seas broke over the ship, bursting in the main hatch, washing away the hatch houses and boats, smashing in tbe front of the cabin, and destroying the caDtain's and ouloers' stores and olotblng The sale lasted nearly five days.and thougb the vessel stood it very well, it was impossible to repair any of the damags, as the waves were continually sweeping over ber decks. At length tbe chief officer suggested the trial of throwing oil upon tbe water. Two canvas olothes bsgs were obtained, and Into eaoh two gallons fine oil were poured, the bags bein punctured slightly, and flung one over each quarter in tow of the vessel. The tfiVct was magical; tbe waves no longer broke over the poop and sides of the ship, but several yards away, where the oil had spread itself over the surface, and around the poop, in tbe wake ot tbe vessel was a large circuit of calm water. The crew were thus able to repair the damage with greater ease, and the ship was relieved from the tremendous shocks Bhe bad pre viouBlv received from tbe heavy seas, The two bags lasted two days, after which the worst fury of the gale having ex pended Itself no more oil was used. Dosing. Harper's Batar.J There are a host of people who seem to have little else to do but to consider their physioal condition and administer doses for its improvement; people who are positively dissipated and intemperate in their use of medioines, and appear to think this world not so muoh a vale of tears as of drugs; people to whom a new prescription affords a delight only equaled by that which a savant would derive from the posseBBion of a bone of the extinct megatherium. If they are in the least under the weather, it never occurs to them to allow Nature to work out her own salvation, but they take their affairs into their own hands, and having small acquaintance witb ber processes, ths result resembles that ol a novice at tempting the tasks of a superior officer.and making tbem tbe mote difficult for that superior officer to accomplish. One of tbe peculiar pleasures of Bucb persons consists in persuading others to try their methods of cure. ibemoBt delicate compliment you can pay them is to swallow some nau seating mixture upon their recommenda tion, which all tbe while bears a Btrong family likeness to that of those who, with bad complexion, assure you tbat soap is wholesome for tbe skin, or of bald people who extol the virtue of certain washes which they have employed. This art ot dosing does not interfere,' however, witb tbe usefulness of the family physician, but rather supplies him with praotice by lay- ng the foundations for positive disease. The stomach, which has been unright eously corrected, rebels at length; the nerves that have been too often artificially soothed finally refuse to acknowledge the power of the charmer; the strength engendered by stimulants proves but a broken reed; appetite fortified by frequent tonics surrender one day without reserve. If the science of medioine itself is as yet only experimental, must not amateur dosing, beyond question, belong to the most objectionable class of empirioisme ? Elephantine Gambols. Boston Journal. Pursuant to announcement the five ele phants of Sanger's British Menagerie connected with the London Cirous were conducted to tbe frog pond on the Common on Friday forenoon at 10 o'clock and given full liberties, their keeper, however, being near enough to them at all times to control them by his voioe, which they recognised even amid the noise which tbe crowd made, The sides of the pond were lined with people four or five rows deep, and the elevations commanding the wa ter were black with people. For about threequarters of an hour the huge children played about in the water, showering each other occasionally with barrels of water which .they drew up in their trunks, pulling at eaoh other, jumping on eaoh other's back, wal lowing, oantencg, rolling or looking with apparently dull curiosity on the specta tors. The phrase elephantine gambols may seem a little odd, but the beasts did play l;k? kittens, and were wonderfully quick In their movements. Adults and juveniles all enjoyed the exhibition very much, but who in a democratic country don't enjoy anything that is free? There is one thing that may be said, and tbat is, the natural actions of these leviathans of the forest as they exhibited their habits before captivity were fully as interesting as are their wonderful exhibitions under their trainer in the arena. Two Violinists, The El Paso, Illinois, Journal says: Radinski is El Paso's favorite musician. He says, tome years ago he was In Chi cago, and oalled upon Ole Bull. Tbe great man reOeived him oordially, and said : " Where is that young Pole who ...... A t n1a in MnVlntaA TkU.tD. V Hi. name, I believe, was Radinski." " I am the man," said Radinski. " Is it possible I" said the great violinist. " Then play for me." RadinBki played for him. " Excellent, excellent," cried the maestro. " Now play this, my favorite solo," and he set before him a diffioult piece of music Radinski seised his bow as if Inspired, chucked the end of tbe violin un der his chin, spit on his hands, and went to work. As he finished, be beard a sob, and, looking around, he found the great man is tears. " RadinBki," said he, in a voles broken by emotion, " I will nev-are. nevaro play ss violin again. I giv him up to you. I vill go off and forget that evare I vae a player. 1 vill get very drunk." . . , This is tbs story as Ridinaki tells it, but, somehow, be oan never get any one acquainted with him to believe it. Tbe Bnea Canal. The Suez oanal, up to the close of laBt year, cost the .Egyptian Uovernment, De-side the shares told to the English Gov ernment, more than $71,000,000. about half of this sum being interest. This en terprise was one of the first causes of the present financial embarrassment ot gypt. Egypt up to this time has received no benefit from this canal, but, on the con trary, has sustained constant loss. By the passage" of all classes oi vessels with their passengers and cargoes directly through the canal considerable com merce ia lost to Egypt, and also a large businesB in freights and passengers that would otherwise be transported from Alex andria to Sues on the Eyptian railways. It appears from a statement showing the navigation through the Hues, canaf from the 1st of December, 1867, to the Slst of December, 1875, that the entire number of vessels was 6276 tbe largest number being 4347 EnUisb, 292 Italian, 1 Dutoh, 140 Ottoman, 846 Austrian, 118 German, 43 Bussian, 82 Spanish and 10 American. Of the entire number of ves sels. 4403 were commercial steamers, and 1197 postal steamers. The whole number of passengetB was 859 OSS. ADDITIONAL CITY NEWS. Local Personal. Hon. John Q.

The Judicial Amendment bill seems to have a good many friends in this county. The investigation of the financial affairs of the county, stirred up by the shovel of Captain Dave Wood, has created a great deal of comment and eogeadered some bitter feelings toward him. Wood charges that the Commissionere have built a poor house after the people had Toted it down, and that every dollar ex-pended over ten thousand dollars is in .direct violation of law. He also charges the existence of a ring who he claims 'has taken two dollars from the treasury ifor every one expended for the poor 'house, and thinks they should disgorge.

BY TELEGRAPH TO TEE omo STATU fOUBSAL FOREIGN. Russian Csmmsslssilsi 1m Ai Threatened. London, June 18 A Turkish detach ment has entered the Russian district of Acbalserch and threatens Bussian communication with Ardahan. Should tbe Turkish commander Buoceed, a victory ior me xtussian armies win De very dim' oult. On the approaoh of three firing sol umns sent by Mukhtar Pasha, against the Bussian right wing, the Bussians not only evacuated Olti, but Pennek, at the loot oi tbe pass over Hanly range, leading to Ardaban. Both Olti and Pennek were recaptured by the Turks, who also went in pursuit or tbe Uussians. The above is not from tbe immediate scene of operations, and previous dispatches stated the Bussians were withdrawing from the direction of Erzeroum, In order to prosecute the siege of Kars, reduce it, and keep their rear from attack; and that also Grand Duke Michael, oommander-in-onief of the Bussian army in Asia, commenced personally to recon-noiter Kars on the 8th inst. England and Buasla. Vienna, June 13 A St. Petersburg letter states that Count Sohounstoff took to St. Petersburg a specification of British interests bs contained in Mr. Cross's speech in the British Parliament. Count Sohounaloff's instruotions on bis return to London empowered him to deolare that Bussia had no designs against the Sues canal or Egypt. His instruotions were restricted to this declaration. Nothing is known in St. Petersburg of any semiofficial note to Lord Derby, Lord Darby's reply to Gortschakoff's ciroular has up to the present received no answer, as the Bussian Cabinet oonsiders it couched in curt and unusual terms. There is still, however, a possibility that Bussia will, on the occasion of the immediate impending passage of the Danube, again set forth her views. Indirect Dispatches. New Yobk, June 13. The following are indirect dispatches : The Turks have captured a Bussian spy in Butschuk, He will be shot. Ths Bussians shot a spy who pretended to bs a spy at Ployesti. Desultory firing is reported from the batteries on the Danube. The Turks at Kars have made several sorties, but were repelled with loss. The Servian Government continues its warlike preparations.

New York, June 13 Tbe following is the Attorney General's letter, sent to Tweed's counsel : New York, June 12. John D. Towniend esq.: Sib Herewith I return to you the statement of testimony which you assert that William M. Tweed could give it be wra released from lmDrisonmeut. After careful consideration I have come to the conclusion that the testimony which said Tweed oould give, as shown by said state ment, would not justify his release. LttlHUI a. V AIHVUII.V, Attorney General. Townsend. with Tweed's assent, will present all the facts in the case to the pufalio in a few days. Tbe following letter explains itself : Ludlow Stbebt, June 18. John P. Townsend : Dear Sib I wish you to take the neosssary steps to at once enable me to confess judgment in all the cases brought against me by either city, oounty or State, My defenses In all tbese matters nave been disclosed by me to the Attorney General personally, in several interviews, on his personal assurances to me that if I made suob a statement a snouia. ne released from imprisonment; and as you know, also, to yourself ; and it would be useless now to interpose a defense even had I a desire to do so, and save tbe city unnecessary further expense. Jour obedient servant, Wc. M. Tweed. Tweed is very much depressed in spirits and weaker in health. He denounces what be terms the injustice of the compromise with 8weeney, and declares that the four criminal indictments found against the latter would have led to his conviction bad he not fled instead of remaining, as Tweed did, to meet the issue. Tweed says bitterly that Connolly and Sweeney were as muoh in the ring Vuds as himself. Sweeney's settlement j a n admission of such complicity, and Tweeu thinks he has a right to be as lenient! treated. Depa rture of Hendricks. New Yobm:, June 18. Many of those who were at the reception of the Manhattan Club last even.'og assemcled at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day to bid farewell to Governor Hendricks and wife, prior to their departure for Europe in the steamer Scythia. Among them were ex-Governor Tilden, Lieutenant Governor Dorsheimer, Augustus Schell, John Jay and wife, S. 8. Cox and wife, ex-Governor John T. Hoffman, George Ticknor Curtis, Abram 8. Hewitt, Colonel Pel-ton and wife, Joaquin Miller, Edwin B. Meade, John T. Agnew, Fernando Wood, Heyater Clymer, Gordon W. Burnbam, B. L. Cutting, Edward Cooper. Wm. Beach Lawrence, of Rhode Island; Dr. Sayer, E. S. Cleveland, of Connecticut; Surrogate Uolvin, ex-May. or Wiokham. John J. Bradley and Sen. ator Kernan. On account of the ebb tide in the afternoon tbe steamer lay off Bedloe's I land, where the passengers were taken on board. There was no demonstration on the arrival of the ex-Governor and party. When the party reaohed the steamer they went first to inspect the table. A large bed of roses, on which wers the words, "Bon voysee," sent by William VanWvck and Willis o. Paine, was placed by their seats at the first table. At four o'clock the revenue cutter came along side the Soytbia with Collector Arthur and Thomas Murpny on board, After the UBual demonstration of respect and nood-byes were given tbe cutter re turned and the Scythia steamed down the bay. THE TIDAL WAVE. Tfcfl Wonderful Experiences of a nip Captain on tne raelde Coast Nsw YobX, June 18 Captain Charles MaoLeon, of the ship Geneva, sunk at Kurrj-illoH, in tbe great earthquake on the Pacific ooaat, on the Sth ult., has arrived and tells the story of his experiences. He says that though apparently safely anchored, his ship became entangled with others. They tossed wildly about, crossing against each other and sinking almost immediately in fifteen fathoms of water. On the nrst alarm be came up from between decks. It was almost half past eight in the evening. There had been several snooks in tne previous twenty days, but he had completed his oargo of guano and was expecting to sail tbe next morning. Aside from a frightful rumbling sound his attention was arrested by the extraor dinary phenomena of the shore mountain above being so muoh agitated that great rooks became detached and rolled down toward ths Bea, resembling balls of fire. Furthermore, the water at (he anohorage suddenly receded so that ships in eight fathoms touched bottom. At the same time it was observed the ships were swimming round and round and in opposite directions, the anchor chains beooming entangled beneath, the copper yards and masts interlocking, wnile tne air resound ed with falling spars and the crash of bul warks. The water also came swirling in like a maelstrom, causing the Geneva to swing round at eight or ten knots an hour in great circles, until she struck against a rock which tore out part or her bottom. The ship was then forced violently in the opposite direction and went down. The other vessels were as violently driven ashore, or went to the bottom, as in the case of the English ship Avonmore, Captain Canfleld, which took down with her the Captain's wife, three children and several others. Captain MacLeon says it seemed to him from the Sulphurous or electrical appearance of the mountain that a voloano was bursting out of its sides. Bocks were tumbling about with frightful noisa, and everything was Hunted up. He thinks tbe damage to shipping was caused not so much by tbe tidal wave as by an upward rush of water and rotary currents, driving the Bhips repeatedly against each other. THS RAJLRQADS.

She claimed that Senator Stevenson, George H. Pendleton, Colonel Taylor and others were in partnership with her. The mother, believing this, advanced the money. The gentlemen named deny any business relations with her, and the story, so far as they are conoerned, is utterly devoid of truth. Tbe lady made efforts to secure cash on notes, but failed. They were forged and signed with Taylor's name. Relatives pronounce Mrs. Hawkins deranged. The affair causes considerable eicitemerjt, (Suicide of a Cotton Speculator. New York, June 18.

Chambers's Journal J Let us consider a few of the many ways in which we waste the Btuff tbat life is made of. It has been well said that -'tha habit of looking o'n the bright side of tblngs is worth far more than a thousand puuuuB a jcai , ttliU ueiLBlUiy lb Its N UBU- it that must add many years to the lives of those who acquire it, Really every fit oi despondency and every rage take so much out ot us tbat any one who indulges in either without a great struggle to prevent himself doing bo should be characterised as little less than to use an Amerioan expression "a fearful fool." How silly it seems even to ourselves, after cooling, to Dave acquired a nervous headache and to have become generally done up, stamping round the room, and showing other siens of fooliah anger, because the dinner was nve minutes late, or because some one s respect for us did not quite rise to the high Biandard measured by our egotism 1 As if it were not far more important that we should save our vital energy, and not get into a rage, than that the dinner should be served exactly to tbe moment. One day a friend of Lord Palmerston asked hiin when he considered a man to be in tbe prime of life; bis immediate reply s ''Seventvnine. But," he added with a playful smile, "as I have lust entered my eightieth year, perhaps I am myself a little past it I" How is it tbat such men work on vigorously to the end ? Because they treasure their ever-diminishing vital force. They studiedly refrain from making a pull on the constitution. Reaching tbe borders of seventy years of aue, they, as good assay to themselves : "We must now take care what we are about. Cf course, they make sacrifices, avoid a num ber ot treacherous gaieties, and living sim ply, tbey perhaps give some cause of of fense, fur the worid does not approve of singularity. But let those laugh who win. They hold tbe censorious observations of critics in derision, and maintain'the even tenor of their way. In other wordB they conserve their vital force, and try to keep ahoveground as long as possible. Blustering natures, forgetful of the great truth tbat "power itself hath not onehalf the might of gentleness," miss the ends for which tbey strive just because tbe force that is in them is not properly economized. Then as regards temper : any man who allows that to master him waates as much energy as would enable him to remove the cause of anger or overcome an opponent. me nttie boy ot eight years old wbo in the country is often Been driving a team of four immense dray-horses, is one of the innumerable instances of the power of rea-Bon over mere brute force, whioh induce violent tempers to become calm from pol icy, if from no higher motive. Talue of Manufactured 17. Silks in The total quantity of silk goods pro duced in the United States during the year 1876 is stated by ths report to be l,284,oo0 pounds, valued at $26.693,10 These include all kinds and varieties of silk manufacture, whether in dresses, ribbons, undergarments, neckiiea and scarfs, sewing and embroidery silks, handkerchiefs or trimmings. The industry is rapidly growing and bids fair eventually to make American silks an article for export. Indeed, this view was already taken by Mr. J. Walter H. Thorp in a letter addressed to the Macclesfield (England) Courier, dated October i, 1878, in which he says : Our English manufacturers have acted wisely in abstaining from exhibiting their goods at tbe Centennial exhibition at Philadelphia, as they would only have exposed their inferiority in quality and price. Instead of wishing any longer to see or use our English silk goods, America, proteoted by ber sixty per cent, duty on the import of manufactured silk, Is almost entirely supplying her own market with home-made goods, and her manufacturers, having proved that they can produoe the article and quality required by their markets, are now lending all their efforts to the reduction of cost. Now that the period of Inflated prices and extravagant wages is paBBing away (whioh last Item has bitherto been the great difficulty with manufacturers), and their scale of wages it rapidly falling to the European level, we shall find that the ample labor saving appliances and greater intelligence of the work people will bring us face to face with a competition suob as we have never yet dreamed of, and I venture to say that before long England, mother of free trade as she is, will find herself compelled to impose a duty on the importa tion of American silks In order to proteot ner manuiaoturers trout owing oeaien in their own markets. Pouring Oil on Troubled Waters. Living Age, The effect of oil in stilling troubled waters has been so long known, remarks Iron, that it has been constituted the basis of a proverbial phrase. A very small quantity of oil thus used has overoome every powerful sea. JMot many years ago a case occurred in whioh a ship's crew was enabled, during a severe storm, toes-oap- on the shore by the help of a few gallons of oil. A similar and equally successful employment of tha same sub stance is reported to have been made off the "Cane of Storm" last summer, lh King Cenrlc, a vessel of 1490 tons, left Liverpool in June last for coin Day. When off the Cape of Good Hope she encountered a heavy gale from the north west, wnioh continued for some time. Tremendous seas broke over the ship, bursting in the main hatch, washing away the hatch houses and boats, smashing in tbe front of the cabin, and destroying the caDtain's and ouloers' stores and olotblng The sale lasted nearly five days.and thougb the vessel stood it very well, it was impossible to repair any of the damags, as the waves were continually sweeping over ber decks. At length tbe chief officer suggested the trial of throwing oil upon tbe water. Two canvas olothes bsgs were obtained, and Into eaoh two gallons fine oil were poured, the bags bein punctured slightly, and flung one over each quarter in tow of the vessel. The tfiVct was magical; tbe waves no longer broke over the poop and sides of the ship, but several yards away, where the oil had spread itself over the surface, and around the poop, in tbe wake ot tbe vessel was a large circuit of calm water. The crew were thus able to repair the damage with greater ease, and the ship was relieved from the tremendous shocks Bhe bad pre viouBlv received from tbe heavy seas, The two bags lasted two days, after which the worst fury of the gale having ex pended Itself no more oil was used. Dosing. Harper's Batar.J There are a host of people who seem to have little else to do but to consider their physioal condition and administer doses for its improvement; people who are positively dissipated and intemperate in their use of medioines, and appear to think this world not so muoh a vale of tears as of drugs; people to whom a new prescription affords a delight only equaled by that which a savant would derive from the posseBBion of a bone of the extinct megatherium. If they are in the least under the weather, it never occurs to them to allow Nature to work out her own salvation, but they take their affairs into their own hands, and having small acquaintance witb ber processes, ths result resembles that ol a novice at tempting the tasks of a superior officer.and making tbem tbe mote difficult for that superior officer to accomplish. One of tbe peculiar pleasures of Bucb persons consists in persuading others to try their methods of cure. ibemoBt delicate compliment you can pay them is to swallow some nau seating mixture upon their recommenda tion, which all tbe while bears a Btrong family likeness to that of those who, with bad complexion, assure you tbat soap is wholesome for tbe skin, or of bald people who extol the virtue of certain washes which they have employed. This art ot dosing does not interfere,' however, witb tbe usefulness of the family physician, but rather supplies him with praotice by lay- ng the foundations for positive disease. The stomach, which has been unright eously corrected, rebels at length; the nerves that have been too often artificially soothed finally refuse to acknowledge the power of the charmer; the strength engendered by stimulants proves but a broken reed; appetite fortified by frequent tonics surrender one day without reserve. If the science of medioine itself is as yet only experimental, must not amateur dosing, beyond question, belong to the most objectionable class of empirioisme ? Elephantine Gambols. Boston Journal. Pursuant to announcement the five ele phants of Sanger's British Menagerie connected with the London Cirous were conducted to tbe frog pond on the Common on Friday forenoon at 10 o'clock and given full liberties, their keeper, however, being near enough to them at all times to control them by his voioe, which they recognised even amid the noise which tbe crowd made, The sides of the pond were lined with people four or five rows deep, and the elevations commanding the wa ter were black with people. For about threequarters of an hour the huge children played about in the water, showering each other occasionally with barrels of water which .they drew up in their trunks, pulling at eaoh other, jumping on eaoh other's back, wal lowing, oantencg, rolling or looking with apparently dull curiosity on the specta tors. The phrase elephantine gambols may seem a little odd, but the beasts did play l;k? kittens, and were wonderfully quick In their movements. Adults and juveniles all enjoyed the exhibition very much, but who in a democratic country don't enjoy anything that is free? There is one thing that may be said, and tbat is, the natural actions of these leviathans of the forest as they exhibited their habits before captivity were fully as interesting as are their wonderful exhibitions under their trainer in the arena. Two Violinists, The El Paso, Illinois, Journal says: Radinski is El Paso's favorite musician. He says, tome years ago he was In Chi cago, and oalled upon Ole Bull. Tbe great man reOeived him oordially, and said : " Where is that young Pole who ...... A t n1a in MnVlntaA TkU.tD. V Hi. name, I believe, was Radinski." " I am the man," said Radinski. " Is it possible I" said the great violinist. " Then play for me." RadinBki played for him. " Excellent, excellent," cried the maestro. " Now play this, my favorite solo," and he set before him a diffioult piece of music Radinski seised his bow as if Inspired, chucked the end of tbe violin un der his chin, spit on his hands, and went to work. As he finished, be beard a sob, and, looking around, he found the great man is tears. " RadinBki," said he, in a voles broken by emotion, " I will nev-are. nevaro play ss violin again. I giv him up to you. I vill go off and forget that evare I vae a player. 1 vill get very drunk." . . , This is tbs story as Ridinaki tells it, but, somehow, be oan never get any one acquainted with him to believe it. Tbe Bnea Canal. The Suez oanal, up to the close of laBt year, cost the .Egyptian Uovernment, De-side the shares told to the English Gov ernment, more than $71,000,000. about half of this sum being interest. This en terprise was one of the first causes of the present financial embarrassment ot gypt. Egypt up to this time has received no benefit from this canal, but, on the con trary, has sustained constant loss. By the passage" of all classes oi vessels with their passengers and cargoes directly through the canal considerable com merce ia lost to Egypt, and also a large businesB in freights and passengers that would otherwise be transported from Alex andria to Sues on the Eyptian railways. It appears from a statement showing the navigation through the Hues, canaf from the 1st of December, 1867, to the Slst of December, 1875, that the entire number of vessels was 6276 tbe largest number being 4347 EnUisb, 292 Italian, 1 Dutoh, 140 Ottoman, 846 Austrian, 118 German, 43 Bussian, 82 Spanish and 10 American.
